Luis Suárez

I can understand your speech if he was playing a bad season before injury, instead I think he was doing well, in LaLiga and UCL.

Clearly time goes by for each of us and Barca has to find, soon or later, his substitute, also because now we don't know his phisical shape when he will return.

No easy to find a striker like Suarez (my personally opinion), then, for the moment, we have to wait for his fast return.

Real Benzema
City Aguero
Bayern Lewa
Liverpool Firmino
Psg Cavani

As you can see, top clubs keep their strikers for a long time because is not so easy to find others like these.
The same thing for Barca.

Yes. The top clubs keeps their strikers. So did Barcelona with Luis Suarez. He signed his contract on July 11,2014, which means, we have kept him for 6-7 years.That is a good amount of time. Having in mind that our board has loaned/sold all our strikers from Barca B, if we bring any replacement at the moment, he will be a temporary option. In the summer they will sign the permanent central forward, so Luis can stay for one last season as a sub for 15-20 minutes, whenever is needed. That will make King Leo very happy.

For sure, if Barca will buy a great striker next summer, Suarez will still want to be the main delantero.
I don't think he will accept a back-up role.
Anyway it's February, it will be better to postpone this argument and to focus on UCL ��

If Luis does not accept a back-up role he can always go to Miami, Florida and join D.Beckham's site INTER Miami.

Or back to Ajax, like Huntelaar did. Those are the top two choices I see him moving on to.

Points of view.
In my opinion he's still able to play for a top team and Barca can sell him only after buying a great prospect or a top striker of the same level.
But the question is...Who? And how much?

LABarcaFan said:

Yes. Ajax is also an option for him, but I think his wife will prefer the warm weather of Miami, than the rains and humidity of Amsterdam. But that will be his choice, not ours.

Why Miami? If States side, he'd probably head for LA right?

Not just the rain showers! I was in Amsterdam just the other day. Crazy zany winds! Wings got lift off on the puff puff

Etoo and Suarez are both great players but they are different. Etoo relies on his physical abilities and hard work while Suarez is more gifted and smarter but a bit lazier ... kinda like a Messi CR comparison in its own way

We may not see a striker of his calibre play for Barca again in the next half-century. You only know what you're missing when it's gone.

50 years is a little bit long frame of time, but in general you are right. We may never find another striker from his level. Unfortunately, like everything else in this life, all good things comes to an end, sooner or later.

Actually no one. IMO this is the worst period in terms of future talents. Football has never experienced this level of lack of talent at least since the 70s. 100M+ for this nobody is an insult to past players.
I understand that many big clubs are looking for future #9 and there aren't many good options hence that led to the current price but he isn't worth the price and nobody is in the current market.

Lol, calm down. Suarez is great but not that great. In the last 30 years, R9, Eto'o, and Romario played striker for us. Eto'o on similar level, and both Romario and R9 are clearly superior to Suarez.
